Working closely with John Rogers and the architect was Portland glass artist Howard Meehan who is the corporate design manager for Tektronix. The two 10 foot by 15 foot glass areas in the auditorium reference Rogers' wall relief and reflect the artist's interest in aerial views of the earth. As a Vietnam Veteran, Meehan felt strongly about the new building. His imagery echoes the topography of the Asian European theaters, and the translucent sandblasted areas also make the movement of the traffic on Summer Street. Color was introduced by glass rods fused to the inside of each of the interior panels before they were sealed for thermal insulation. Meehan was assisted in this work by glass fabricator Tim O'Neil.

The line from a poem by Vern Rutsala, an Oregon poet, was selected by Sandra Stone to appear in the glass panel: "To think that we came all this way, risked everything, used our bodies for plows, and arrived here with these lives." The image is taken from an early photograph taken at the turn of the century showing pioneers walking across a train trestle. (information from OAC documentation) This particular image of the stained glass/wall artwork appears to be taken during the installation process. There is evidence of tape and floor coverings. A circle of wire or twine is on the floor., Liz Mapelli; To Think We Came All This Way; Fused and enameled glass; 5x16 feet; 1990; archives, http://www.palmdesertartistregistry.com/liz_mapelli.htm, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
